Abstract

People in today's society take a lot of pictures with their smartphones and also make an effort to keep their old photographs safe, but with time, those photographs deteriorate. Image inpainting is the art of reconstructing damaged or missing parts of an image. Repairing scratches in photographs or film negatives, or adding or removing elements like stamped dates or "red-eye," are all possible through inpainting. In order to restore the image many techniques have been developed, significant techniques include exemplar based inpainting, coherent based inpainting and method for correction of non-uniform illumination. The four main applications of these image inpainting techniques are scratch removal, text removal, object removal and image restoration. However, all the four image inpainting applications cannot be implemented using a single technique. According to the literature, there has been relatively less work done in the field of image inpainting applications. Investigation has been carried out to find the suitability of these three techniques for the four above mentioned image inpainting applications based on two performance metrics.
